A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

Oooopsie, Rory McIlroy bit off a bit more than he could chew yesterday in the USPGA. The MRI revealed a "strained tendon" in his wrist, but he hopes to play on given that it's "six or seven months to the Masters" so he'll have time to recover if he makes it worse.

Maybe McIlroy needs to be issued a Schwartzel exemption. He could use a respite from that connection.

First there was the Masters. Then the two flew off to play an Asian tournament where I believe Rory was again going well and then had another rough go of sorts and fell out of contention (have to go back and check the tournament results on that one).

Then yesterday Rory takes the injury while playing in a threesome with none other than Charl the Charm. Wrong kind of luck going on there.
